<a name="gst-plugins-good-plugins-progressreport.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>The progressreport element can be put into a pipeline to report progress,
which is done by doing upstream duration and position queries in regular
(real-time) intervals. Both the interval and the prefered query format
can be specified via the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-progressreport.html#GstProgressReport--update-freq" title="The “update-freq” property"><span class="type">“update-freq”</span></a> and the
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-progressreport.html#GstProgressReport--format" title="The “format” property"><span class="type">“format”</span></a> property.</p>
<p>Element messages containing a "progress" structure are posted on the bus
whenever progress has been queried (since gst-plugins-good 0.10.6 only).</p>
<p>Since the element was originally designed for debugging purposes, it will
by default also print information about the current progress to the
terminal. This can be prevented by setting the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-good-plugins-progressreport.html#GstProgressReport--silent" title="The “silent” property"><span class="type">“silent”</span></a>
property to <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Standard-Macros.html#TRUE:CAPS"><code class="literal">TRUE</code></a>.</p>
<p>This element is most useful in transcoding pipelines or other situations
where just querying the pipeline might not lead to the wanted result. For
progress in TIME format, the element is best placed in a 'raw stream'
section of the pipeline (or after any demuxers/decoders/parsers).</p>
<p>Three more things should be pointed out: firstly, the element will only
query progress when data flow happens. If data flow is stalled for some
reason, no progress messages will be posted. Secondly, there are other
elements (like qtdemux, for example) that may also post "progress" element
messages on the bus. Applications should check the source of any element
messages they receive, if needed. Finally, applications should not take
action on receiving notification of progress being 100%, they should only
take action when they receive an EOS message (since the progress reported
is in reference to an internal point of a pipeline and not the pipeline as
a whole).</p>
